It is hard to work for someone who you are intimate with because your work crowds your intimacy. The health of your Intimacy begins to be dependent on the success of your work. As I was praying this morning I got so convicted in my spirit. This is was a part of my journal entry:
I am still looking to other things… Computer, TV, Food, ect. all these things I am making my joy and rest and making You work. My rest needs to be in You! I repent for making You something You are not. I work for you but I rest in You. I have to learn How to let my work flow out of my love, rest, intimate relationship with You and not my love to be based on my work. I want You to be my rest, my joy, my love. And in view of that I want to present my body as a sacrifice.
I fear I have entered into a working relationship with God and not an intimate one.
I fear that I have decided to work for God and rest in other things.
Jesus You are my Joy, Rest, and Peace and my work flows out of that. I do not need the mentality that I need to rest from You, but I need the mentality that I need to rest in You.
I pray that this encourages you this day as it has me. Blessings!
Oh, Pastor Aaron, what a wonderful journal entry that you’ve shared.
Thank you.
